Day 25 - Tahlia's England Project

Today, well tonight, actually, my little sister presented her poster about England. This was her very first research project and presentation attempt, and I have to say that for a nine-year-old, she did great! I didn't learn a ton, but what I did learn, I won't soon forget! 
I know it's not a great picture, but I wanted everybody to see her poster! So this is her with her amazing little smile! :) She is very proud of her poster, and I am proud of HER! Good job T! Love ya!

Day 24 - A Rainy Game

My little sister Tahlia's softball game ended early. REALLY early. It ended halfway through the first half of the first inning! It started raining. And raining. And POURING! Total downpour! The field was unplayable within three minutes!

Day 21 - Mother's Day

Today is Mother's Day. Mother's Day is a super special day because on this day we get to honor our mothers for her dedication to her children. I love my mama. She's the best in the world in my opinion:) My mom sacrifices so much for my siblings and I. She teaches us school, she works full time, and she leads a VERY busy life.
Today, we gave her a kayak which is something she REALLY wanted. I'm happy that we could do something for the mom who I admire and adore. We, and by we I mean us kids, made her breakfast-in-bed like always, gave her cards, and let her open her presents. Although she didn't really open the kayak! This afternoon, my family took my mom out for a picnic and a hike. In this picture, you see my mother, sister, and brother attempting to stand on a stump one foot longer than the others! They all failed.

Day 16 - Flower

My little sister, Tahlia, is super artsy. Always thinking about crafts, always imagining what an object would look like in a craft, and always DOING crafts. Inspired by my mom's amazing business, Studio Jewel, she even started her own business called Artz & Partz. Her catalog currently has one item because most things we actually buy from her are custom. She's so cute. I love her!
I found this tissue paper flower she made on the kitchen table today and decided to blog about it. I love flowers. I mean, what girl doesn't? I love getting flowers. I love smelling flowers. And I love looking at flowers. Flowers are truly a special creation created by God for their beautiful appearance and smell. And that's what I urge you to do in the next few weeks. Take a minute to just embrace the flowers and appreciate their beauty! And let me know if you do! :)

Day 13 - Soccer

In my family, all of the kids play sports. My older brother, Noah, plays baseball. I play softball and volleyball (I am playing both at the same time right now). My little sister, Isabel, plays soccer. And last, but certainly not least, my littlest sister, Tahlia, plays softball. The crazy thing is that we are all playing these sports RIGHT NOW! This spring, my parents have to deal with four kids and five sports. FIVE! For example, this Saturday, I have an all-day tournament, my brother has a game, my sisters both have games, and they are all VERY close in the timing with each other!

So this is Isabel at soccer practice. She played soccer last year and softball almost every year, but this year she decided to drop softball. I don't know why. She was good at softball, and I guess we'll see how good she is this year at soccer. Her coach is English and he has an awesome accent! Today he was demonstrating a corner kick. According to my sister, he almost kicked some of the girls with his long legs! HA!

Day 9 - Happy Birthday Tahlia!

Today is April 21. Go figure. But today is not just ANY April 21. Today is a special day because on this day 9 years ago, my little sister, Tahlia, was born! I remember a few weeks before she was born, we went to Hobby Lobby and bought white T-shirts and T-shirt glitter and then decorated a bunch of shirts to wear to the hospital when she was born! (That's my mom for ya! Always thinking about crafts even when she's pregnant)!

On the front they said "I'm a big sister," or "I'm a big brother," and on the back we drew out all of our family (stick figures of course. Then we drew a tiny baby at the bottom of the shirt! I think I may still have my shirt somewhere...
This is her now. She's SO cute and I love her so much! One thing I love about her is that she's extremely crafty...like my mom! She always wants to make something. And I mean always! She's also very one-track-minded. Starting exactly one week from her birthday, she would run to the mailbox everyday to check whether or not she got a card in the mail. She'd be really disappointed if nothing came, but then she'd just think about tomorrow! Like I said...one-track-minded. Hhmmmm. I wonder where she gets THAT! 

So I just wanted to wish my lil' sis a happy birthday! I love you T!
